The man who tried to murder a star of hit TV show Outlander still believes his victim is a member of a celebrity paedophile ring.
Jonathan Wilson, 43, stabbed Tam Dean Burn, 61, in the neck with a knife as he left a poetry venue in Edinburgh.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard the attack was witnessed by people who had seen Tam perform.
Wilson claimed he was hearing voices and receiving telepathic messages. Cops discovered Wilson believed other Scottish actors were involved in sexual abuse.
Yesterday, Lord Burns granted a compulsion and restriction order to keep Wilson in the State Hospital in Carstairs. He passed the order after hearing psychiatrist Dr Rachel Sibbett, 34, say Wilson still believes that Tam is an abuser.
The court previously heard that paranoid schizophrenic Wilson believed he had been tasked to out paedophiles by a secret society.
Lord Burns ruled Wilson had committed attempted murder against the River City actor on March 2, 2019. He heard Wilson grabbed hold of Tam and stabbed him in Edinburgh’s Crichton’s Close.
Lord Burns also upheld a special defence lodged on behalf of Wilson that he was unable, because of a mental disorder, to appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct and acquitted him.
